Drivers and Opportunities:

Driver: Rising Incidences of Chronic Diseases

The global prevalence of chronic illnesses and conditions is experiencing a significant increase. These long-term health issues, which are common and expensive to manage, are on the rise due to several factors. Firstly, the aging population and changes in societal behavior contribute to this trend. Secondly, as the middle class expands and urbanization accelerates, people are adopting more sedentary lifestyles, leading to a higher incidence of obesity and related diseases such as diabetes. The impact of this rise in chronic diseases is expected to be most pronounced in emerging markets, where population expansion is anticipated to be the greatest.

According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2022, six out of ten adults in the United States are affected by chronic diseases. Furthermore, a commentary published by the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors in 2022 revealed that nearly 60% of American adults suffer from at least one chronic disease. Chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease are major causes of death in the US. Together, heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes account for more than two-thirds of all deaths.

Opportunity: Rise in Demand for Plant-Based Health Ingredients

The demand for plant-based protein ingredients is experiencing rapid growth, driven by a shift in consumer preferences away from animal proteins towards plant-based alternatives. This shift presents a significant opportunity for the market of herbal supplements and botanicals to thrive. The increasing consumer inclination towards plant extracts is influenced by several factors, including a preference for clean-label products, concerns about sustainability, and the need to avoid allergens. What was once a market primarily driven by vegans is now expanding to include flexitarians, indicating a broader shift in customer preferences. This shift opens new opportunities in the health ingredients market.

Segments:

The Probiotics starter culture is expected to experience the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in terms of value.

Probiotics have beneficial effects on the body when consumed in sufficient quantities, such as improved gut health and reduced intestinal inflammation. They play a crucial role in preventive healthcare by strengthening the immune system and helping to prevent diseases. According to a survey conducted by DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences and the Natural Marketing Institute in May 2020, the use of probiotics among consumers in the United States, Italy, and China surged during the pandemic. The survey revealed that the number of Americans using probiotics increased by 66%, accounting for 25% of all supplement users, a significant rise from 15% six months earlier. Among these users, 61% reported using probiotics daily or more frequently, up from 37%. In Italy, probiotic supplement use increased by 188%, representing 26% of all supplement users, up from 9%, with an 83% increase in weekly compliance. Chinese consumers also showed a substantial increase of 108% in probiotic use, making up 48% of all supplement users, up from 23%. Long-term expectations from consumers in the US and Italy indicated a desire to take probiotics more frequently in the following six months compared to the six months prior to the pandemic.

Plant-based foods, categorized by their sources, are projected to achieve the highest market share during the forecast period.

Plant-based diets are gaining popularity due to various factors, including the rise of vegan culture, increased health awareness, and concerns about animal welfare. These factors have contributed to the growth of the market for plant-based food ingredients. According to a 2021 report by the Good Food Institute, plant-based foods have outperformed the overall food market in terms of both dollar and unit sales growth for the past three years. During this period, plant-based food sales increased by 54%, while total food sales only saw a 2% increase. Plant-based food unit sales also grew by 6%, while total food unit sales remained unchanged, highlighting the significant role of plant-based foods in driving retail growth within the health ingredients market.

The Food segment, in terms of application, is expected to achieve the highest market share during the forecast period.

Health ingredients refer to food ingredients that are incorporated into food products during manufacturing to create healthier options that enhance consumer well-being. These ingredients can be tailored to meet the nutritional needs of different consumers, including those who engage in regular physical exercise and have varying requirements for proteins, carbohydrates, and other vitamins. With the growing preference for palatable and convenient yet healthy food, manufacturers of bakery products, for example, are incorporating various health ingredients into their offerings. One such example is George Western Foods, a subsidiary of Associated British Foods, which extensively uses omega-3 fatty acids in bakery products under its Tip Top brand, particularly in the Asia Pacific region.

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to have the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the health ingredients market during the forecast period.

The APAC region is a significant market for health ingredients, driven by rapid urbanization and a high prevalence of vitamins and mineral deficiencies among the population. This presents an opportunity for major manufacturers of dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages to expand their presence and establish themselves as leaders in the regional market. The Asia-Pacific region has witnessed an increase in the incidence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and arthritis. In India, for example, statistics from 2020 indicate a 20% rise in obesity rates, with cardiovascular diseases accounting for 40% of deaths in the country. It is projected that India will become the diabetes capital of the world by 2030, with an estimated 67 million diabetic patients and 30 million individuals in a pre-diabetic condition. These factors are expected to drive the demand for health ingredient products in India. Key players in the industry, including Amway, Dabur, Novartis, and Aventis Pharma, are focusing on offering a variety of products to meet the consumer demand for dietary supplements.

Amp Finalises Commercial Agreements for Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels Precinct

Published

on

amp-finalises-commercial-agreements-for-cape-hardy-advanced-fuels-precinct

ADELAIDE, Australia, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Amp Energy (“Amp” or the “Company”) announced today it has finalised all required commercial agreements for the development of the Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels Precinct – one of the leading green hydrogen, green ammonia and advanced fuel projects in Australia. The agreements, which were executed with Iron Road Ltd, include the purchase of a 630-hectare parcel of land at Cape Hardy as well as finalised royalty structure and common user infrastructure agreement. Amp will continue to build upon development progress made since announcing the Strategic Framework Agreement with Iron Road Ltd in April 2023 to bring advanced fuel production capacity to Cape Hardy.

The Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels Precinct will provide production at scale with up to 10 GW of planned electrolyser capacity. Development will be structured to initially bring 1 GW online with incremental stages to reach 10 GW of total capacity.   The project will both cater to the domestic Australian market, supporting the Australian Government’s net zero goals, while also featuring global export capabilities.  To facilitate distribution, Cape Hardy will be equipped with Australia’s first purpose-built advanced fuels export terminal.   
Amp has been in discussions to develop the Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels precinct, in collaboration with Iron Road Ltd and The Government of South Australia, for the past two years. During that time, Amp has made significant development progress.  The project’s concept, design, and pre-Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase have been studied and reviewed by two leading global engineering firms, Arup and Technip Technologies, as Amp targets completion of pre-FEED studies for the first 1 GW electrolyser phase over the next 9 months. FEED scoping and contracting is currently underway ahead of awarding the FEED contract in late 2024 or early 2025.
Desalinated water is to be sourced from the recently announced Northern Water Supply (NWS) seawater desalination plant that will be located at Cape Hardy to meet the project’s demand for electrolyser feed water, cooling water, process plant water, and fire water. Amp is co-funding pre-FID expenditures for the NWS project.
Additionally, Amp is working closely with the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (“BDAC”).  With continued support from the BDAC, Amp is confident the Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels Precinct will have a meaningful economic impact on the region.  Amp currently estimates this will include approximately 4,000 direct and 6,000 indirect jobs for the first gigawatt of electrolyser capacity alone.
“We are seeing growing demand for Advanced Fuels both in Australia and abroad. This includes green ammonia, liquid hydrogen, methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel. The Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels Precinct will allow for large-scale production of these fuels that will be critical to the energy transition and achieving net zero targets. We could not be more excited about the project’s potential impact, and we are grateful for the partnership and continued support from Iron Road Ltd, the South Australian Government and BDAC as we progress full steam ahead on development” said Paul Ezekiel, Amp President and Co-founder.
Minister for Trade and Investment, Joe Szakacs said “The State Government recognises the strategic importance of the Cape Hardy Advanced Fuels Precinct attracting investment into the state for domestic and export opportunities, as there is an increasing flight to quality for hydrogen projects worldwide.”
About AmpAmp Energy is a global energy transition development platform, which delivers renewables, battery storage, Advanced Fuels and green AI data centers at scale, together with proprietary AI-enabled grid flexibility through its Amp X platform. Since its inception 15 years ago, Amp has developed and built or contracted 14 GW of assets globally. Amp is backed by major investments from institutional capital partners including global private equity firm the Carlyle Group, who has invested over US$440 million. The company has global operations throughout North America, the UK, Australia, Japan, and Spain.
